Emily White's ELEMENTAL

Last week, Emily White unveiled the awesome trailer for her debut book, ELEMENTAL.

Elemental, Emily White’s taut YA sci-fi thriller debut (Spencer Hill Press, May 2012) confronts many of our greatest fears… darkness, loneliness and the power within each of us to become either the hero or villain in the plotline of our life. Ella, who has been held prisoner aboard a starship since she was a young child, must discover whether she will be the prophesied Destructor… or if she will, instead, be destroyed.

ELEMENTAL launches in May of 2012. In the meantime, check out the trailer below and visit Emily at her blog.

Don't forget there's still time to win a contest for a signed copy of Elisa Ludwig's PRETTY CROOKED. See here for details.
